“Cheering at Verdict”

Mayan survivors of the Guatemalan genocide cheer the guilty verdict against dictator Ríos
Montt. He was convicted and sentenced to genocide and crimes against humanity on May
10, 2013, given an 80-year sentence and sent directly to prison. It was the first time the
perpetrator of genocide against indigenous people had been tried in a court of law.
